Mr. Speaker, today the Minister of Public Safety and the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism announced that our government is delivering on its commitment to crack down on human smugglers who seek to abuse Canada's immigration system.
Our Conservative government will take fair and reasonable, but strict action to prevent the abuse of our immigration system.
The bill introduced today will send a clear message: Canada opens its doors to those who work hard and play by the rules, while cracking down on those who seek to take advantage of our generosity and abuse our fair and welcoming immigration system.
The measures introduced today send a clear message to individuals thinking about smuggling people and to those thinking about using human smugglers: do not do it.
